I don't know how responsive NWC will be as there have been comments in the past that support emails have gone unanswered, but that's the best I can suggest.
Without the CD, and without access to the HDD your install was on I really don't know what else can be done.

I'm in a similar situation. I've replaced the hard disk on my iMac where Parallels, Windows 10 and Noteworthy Composer were. Now I have new disk, Windows 11, Parallels but no Noteworthy Composer and no installation disk lost in the flood last year. Is buying an new NWC the only option or is there another way of retrieving my data and reinstalling the NWC?

I do understand now that all NWC files were gone when I installed Windows 11. The question is how can I restore my license and my software. Ater the flood last year I cannot find my 1.75 CD with all the info. Is there a way to restore that info?
you could specifically check for these problems during conversion and either delete or replace them with a flag - maybe "BLANK"?
In the xml he following chars are reserved and must be "escaped", that is: " replaced with " ' replaced with ' < replaced with < > replaced with > & replaced with & (whatever similitude to html is... ) This is NOT my idea. This is the standard! https://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#NT-Char - 2.4 Character Data and Markup

Hi Gust, confirmed. Perhaps, given this is a problem that will certainly occur in the future, you could specifically check for these problems during conversion and either delete or replace them with a flag - maybe "BLANK"?
Also, and I don't know if it's a problem specific to my installation or Win11, NWCCONVERTOR can't seem to remember how to open the MusicXML file with Musescore. The correct path is in the options screen, but if you press OK, the config file is updated without the entry, UNLESS your browse to it beforehand. Then if you press OK the config file is saved with the correct path and it all works until next time you run NWCCONVERTOR, where, even though the correct path is in the config file, NWCCONVERTOR ignores it and you have to browse to it again...
